My screen is flickering when moving windows around, leaves copies of the window outline and other weird things on the screen. Is this a hardware issue?

I am about 10 hours into playing AC:O on Windows 10 and all of a sudden my screen started flickering. The GPU is a GTX 1060 and is only a couple of weeks old. I tried uninstalling my graphics driver and reinstalling it but this did not affect the problem. I also tried doing a system restore and it did not help. What else can I try? How can I tell if it's a hardware issue, since it doesn't seem to be a software issue?

Here is a video link of the skipping. I can take more videos if it would help.
